5.0 out of 5 stars Gold Standard of High Fidelity and Dynamic Range, August 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Time Warp (Audio CD)

This is not only a must have for any science fiction fan, but also for any audiophile. This CD contains the clearest and most "alive" recordings I've ever heard. I used the the Star Trek Motion Picture Theme as the test track when shopping for high quality main speakers a few years ago. Now I intend to use it for testing the accuracy and dynamic capacity of sub-woofers. Telarc has thoroughly impressed me with this production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic sci-fi gets the symphonic treatment!, April 2, 2003

This review is from: Time Warp (Audio CD)

"Time Warp" was the first recording by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops that I ever purchased. And it, without a doubt, was money well spent.

The album is a sci-fi lover's delights, featuring one-of-a-kind orchestral renditions of popular scores. Kunzel and company have outdone themselves with their performance on the rarely heard "The Menagerie: Suite", composed by Alexander Courage for the pilot episode ("The Cage") of "Star Trek". John Williams's "Superman: Love Theme" and "Star Wars: Throne Room" sound clearer and more majestic than in their original soundtrack forms.

Over fifteen minutes of the classical music heard in Kubrick's "2001" are presented here and that alone makes this an essential purchase.

It's a shame not many people are lucky enough to stumble accross this cd. "Time Warp" is the golden masterpiece for any sci-fi audio enthusiast and an unprecedented addition to any home library; great classical!
